STORY STARTER

Write a story about a world in which you have to be granted permission to feel an emotion. What happens when your main character disobeys this rule?

Keep It To Yourself

Feelings do not matter when there are things that need to be done. This is what I’ve learned surviving in the world.


It would help if everyone else does the same. The ones who aren’t quite getting it aren’t doing so well and are dragging the rest of us down with them.


I’ve learned to not feel a thing. I have completely turned off my emotions because no one actually cares.


Feelings are just an inconvenience to others but once I had felt all I needed to I looked completely insane. There’s just no way anyone should be anything but happy and doing what they’re supposed to. It’s the social norm.


The consequence is everyone else thinking you’re the problem. However, It’s also a personal responsibility to self regulate and not anyone else’s problem.
